    You haven't found your name in 336 entries, around/over 1.000 names? Will you repeat the contest? Next time you should advice contestants not to submit 5-10-15 single entries but to merge them in one or two (they are spamming every contest), not to use this public clarification board for: check my #, check my #, but for questions / issues... and you should have rejected irrelevant entries to make your final job easier - this way you have to click zillion times and read repetitively ridiculous names and names of those who haven't read your brief properly to see that you are looking for .com and other criteria. read below:

    You should have rejected those entries immediately. Plenty of us spent time, efforts and paid for the sealed entries to help you find your name and you didn't even rate our entries (our efforts). It's like you just let it flow without a single reaction. If we had intention to help you find your name, I think you should have shown at least 1 gram of appreciation, don't you think so? Anyhow, you can't use any of these names without signing Intellectual Property contract, so you really wasted our and your time. Good luck next time.

    Not only do i think this is a great name for your very cool and exciting product, i have an idea that will separate your straws from any other on the market; include a vague prophecy printed on the pa ckaging/on a piece of paper inside much like a fortune cookie. I have designed my idea of the logo, it meets the likes of your target audiences, very modern and minimalistic It is unique, catchy memorable, and stands out from your competitors. The domain is taken but not used, i am sure you can get it, the socials are available plus due to the versatility of the name you can always add onto it to it: maybe futurestrawsco, etc. domain names do not have to be exact and i doubt your product will be sold direct to the consumer but to restaurants,etc therefore you can easily send them a link. Literally Future-proof, Easily adaptable to "Future" products from Future Packets (Bio-degradable of course ;), Future Cups, Future Paper, Future Bags, Future Water. The possibilities are endless.

    Hi there!
    I've added a quick entry just before the contest closed so you get a slight idea of what I could do for your business. I see a lot of potential for a great logo design as well and additional branding. Please get in touch.

    Kind regards,
